Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Howard Beach, NY.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Howard Beach patients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and probably administered certain prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detox, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when arriving to the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who should to take part in an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation program once detox is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
